Results From the First-ever Meatless Year Blog Poll!

Days 89 - 91

The results are in for the first-ever Meatless Year Blog poll!

The question I asked was a simple one, “Are you a vegetarian?” and 30% said they were with 69% saying that they weren’t. I do find it strange that the poll numbers add up to 99% and not 100%, especially since there was not a third option to choose. Can anybody explain that glitch in the Blogger polling system to me?

Thank you all for voting and you can see the results posted through at least the next week on the right sidebar. Maybe I will run this poll question again in October to see if anything has changed.

Back on Track?

Day 88

I am feeling somewhat better today. My eating and sleeping habits are slowly returning to normal. Meals are shifting back to being properly balanced and I am getting more rest. Amazing, isn’t it, how one can be easily thrown off by just changing their eating habits? Of course, if that change is for a healthier diet (like, oh I don’t know—cutting out meat perhaps) it can have quite the opposite effect.

Don’t forget to vote in the poll on the right sidebar! Just two more days to vote!

Over 2,000 Visits!

Day 87

Last night this blog’s site meter hit 2,000 visits. Not bad for a blog that started less than three months ago.

There was another blog that I used to follow a couple years back that celebrated when it hit a similar magic number by thanking the 100th or 1000th visitor (or whatever number it was) with a pizza party or something similar.

Nice gesture, but what about all the visitors before Mr. 1000? You couldn't have gotten to that magic number without all those other visits! It seems like such a slap in the face to many other people who followed your blog. To me, it’s like saying, “Yay, 1000th visitor, but the rest of my readers just aren’t as important!

Well, I think that is simply lame. Everybody who has supported me on this meatless journey by reading this blog, commenting on it, commenting on my Facebook page, contributing advice and etc. is much appreciated.

Everybody.

The outpouring of support from people in my life and even total strangers who have randomly found this blog on the net has been nothing short of remarkable. It reassures me that I am doing something worthwhile with my eating and writing habits. Why would I want to leave even one person out in my thanks?

I thank you all out there on the internet (strangers and acquaintances) who have found there way here. You guys are the best!

The Dog Days of—January?!

Days 85 and 86

The people I live with have gone away on vacation so I have free reign of the house. This means spending long hours into the night working on resumes, sending out resumes, developing a writing portfolio, watching Conan’s classy last week (and DVRing Letterman’s jibes at Leno), promotion for this blog, planning new and separate blogs and other random bits of business.

Even though I am being productive on those fronts I have neglected to go to the YMCA for over a week and my eating habits have been thrown way out of whack. The result? I feel sooooo crappy.

It started Sunday night with coughing and a stuffy nose but I am feeling a little better now. Could this have been the consequence of the week-long interruption of my daily routine or did I just catch this cold that’s been going around? Anybody else out there have any thoughts on this?

Anyway, it’s more tea and rest for me. Nighty-night.

Hope for Haiti

Day 83

Living in America, even during these hard times, I can all too easily take for granted just how lucky I am to have food and a roof over my head.

Haiti has not been nearly as fortunate lately. Please, please click on the image below to go to the Hope for Haiti website and see what you can do to help.

Talk to you soon.
